WV Mountain Guzzi Rally - Sept. 30th - Oct. 2nd. AND the Kentucky rally . OOPS .

[DanD]

We'll be heading down to the rally and then back up to Rabbit Hash this afternoon. While the General Store is gone (they are rebuilding now) the music hall has since been re-purposed as the general store. I'm about 99% sure they'll be a Young's Double Chocolate Stout with my name on it. 

...only a weekend early.. old timers is setting in! 

Lots of nice roads in the area. May have to make a 2d pilgrimage next weekend. 

The Young's was waiting with my name on it tho. 

[Chuck in Indiana]

Long range wx forecast looks good. Doesn't matter, I'm going anyway.  I think the AeroLario gets the nod this time.. it needs exercise.

[Bill Hagan]

Have fun.

Kathi and I will likely do a literal drive-by in the Mini on Friday. 

We are going to the fall picnic at St. Mary of the Woods in Whitesville, near Owensboro in Daviess County.

Did that on my Griso with some Atlanta buds this past May.

It's been a few years.. looking fwd to catching up, Charlie. 

[Jake]

gonna see if I can slip away, even tho' it'll be on 4wheels...looking for all the inspiration I can muster to get back to the 2-wheel charmer!  thanks

[Jake]

looks fun...more fuel for my inspiration....

[Antietam Classic Cycle]

Charlie, any chance you and Morini going?

Me - likely. Morini - depends on the weather. If rain is in the forecast at any point, I'll be on the Guzzi instead.

[Travman]

I'm in.

[Antietam Classic Cycle]

I'm in.

Maybe you, Bill H. and I can ride down together?

[Bigtime]

Hey everyone, better pack shorts and swlm trunks. Latest forecast calls for hot and dry all weekend.

[Travman]

I'm in. I just need to figure out where I'm spending the night.

I'm staying at the Turnpike Motel in Princeton: http://www.turnpikemotelprincetonwv.com/ .

[Travman]

Yes. Definitely. Thanks for including me. I'm looking forward to this. I haven't ridden much this summer, so this is a well needed trip.

[Bill Hagan]

The plan is coming together a bit too well to survive first contact, but I am looking forward to meeting Travman at the Moto Grappa, followed by finding Charlie at the restaurant in Wardensville. 

The http://www.kackaponrestaurant.com is my usual stop for breakfast on all of my trips to Atlanta and other destinations to the south.







The ride after that looks to be super and the weather is usually pretty nice then ... but better not count those latter chickens just yet!

Bill

P.S.  Thanks, dusty, for combining the two W.V. rally threads.

[Dilliw]

I've got a kitchen pass for Thursday night and Friday but I think I have to be back in SC by Saturday.  Man I really want come up though so I'm going to work it some more tonight.

That's been my "usual" stop since about 2006 when the group I lead into deepest WV decided we should stop there. I think Nick D. stops there as well.

If I don't want a sit-down meal, I'll sometimes stop at Tom's Market on Back Mtn. Rd. and grab an egg sandwich made to order.

At some point, I guess this is fodder for PM's or emails, but, Charlie, just looked at the map and saw that you'd probably be coming pretty close to my place in Cross Junction on your way to Wardensville.

While I enjoy eating what at shouldn't at the Kac-Ka-Pon dive as much as anyone, you and the travster are welcome to come here for breakfast. 

Kathi's in Seattle then, so I can cook (competently) all sorts of "illegal" (in her mind  ) foods, e.g., pancakes, biscuits & gravy, etc. 

Let me know.

Looks like you merged the WV and Kentuky rally threads

Yeah, but understandable, as the DNA is a near match.

[oldbike54]

 Geez , I owe you guys a big apology here , don't know just exactly how the WV and KY rally threads got merged . The only excuse might be I was working from my phone and just screwed up . If it was possible I would split them apart , but using that function creates chaos with the soft ware , or did in the past . Maybe Luap can help , if not , we can at least keep it sorted out , maybe change the heading to reflect the fact that both threads are combined here . Once again , apologies all around .

Here I am at 3am so excited to get things finished up in the morning and finally throw a leg over the Loop and head south that I can't sleep after a 3 hour nap in the recliner. At least I would fit in with my buddy who is working nights and will probably have just a few hours sleep in the morning before we head that way.
Please don't post on Social media that your going to the KY rally, people might think your some kind of lubricant enthusiast, maybe they just think that out of me, HARD to tell!
Ya'll have a safe ride!

[guzzi ride]

I'll be heading down Saturday morning on the wired Norge.

[Bigtime]

Big thanks to everyone that attended the Ky. rally. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we enjoy putting it on. The only "downer" of the weekend was Don Smith's bad luck. Hope the damage to his Convert is less than expected when he starts to tear her down. Ride safe.   JohnB

John,

Thanks for another great rally. Appreciate the effort you guys put into this and the efforts the ladies put into the refreshments and of course, keeping you on task.

Some great riding through horse country and tours through the distilleries:

Refurbing the Old Tayor Distillery







Buffalo Trace













Hanging with some great folks. Full bellies, sampling various distilled product.




Couple of relics. That Laerio had a nice tone.




Some nice hardware in attendance

[creaky99]

My 1st MG rally. Could come for only 1 day, but had a great time. I'll do my best to be there for the whole thing next year.

John, you make a Bigtime tour guide. Already told you how much I enjoyed the countryside. Have every intention of being back soon.
